The group's main interest is the regulation of cell cycle events in the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe. At present, we concentrate on events in G1 phase, particularly those regulating entrance into S phase.

In our work, we employ standard molecular biological methods, different cell synchronization techniques, flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy of tagged proteins, and a wide set of in vitro assays.

We collaborate with the neighbouring group of this department, working with bacterial cell cycle control, and with several other groups in Europe.
